THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO, hosted by Dan Bonn and Carl Cafarelli played "What Can I Tell You" and had this to say about it:
Well, lotsa new stuff this week on THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO with Dana & Carl, so we'd best get t' goin'. We opened the show with a real treat, an exclusive brand-new track from long-time TIRnRR faves THE OOHS! From The Oohs' forthcoming album LLAMALAMP, we offered the world radio premiere of "That's What She Said!," fulfilling our persistent promise to give you all the Oohs you can use. Also new this week were tracks from THE KOOTZ (debut album TALES FROM THE ENDLESS BUS TOUR OF NEW JERESEY, featuring Chris Breetveld of The Breetles, promising "Rock 'n' roll with fiber!"), MAKAR (ace tune from the group's 99 CENT DREAMS album), DENNIS MOST & THE INSTIGATORS (with VAMPIRE CITY, on the Trash 2001 label), new Wizzard In Vinyl label releases from RICHARD ORANGE and THE LET'S GO'S, and a teaser track from the soon-to-be-released new album from some guys called BIG STAR, an act with whom a few of you may be familiar, we suspect....
Hey, Little Steven has his "Coolest Song In The World," but we've always had our own ever-changing GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE! This week's worthy nominee for that title was requested by our ol' pal Dave Murray, who's canonized "Get Your Own" by ALICE PEACOCK as The Coolest Song In...sorry, make that THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE! Remember, as always: an infinite number of songs can truly be THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE, as long as they take turns. (And if YOU have a song you want Dana & Carl to recognize as THE GREATEST RECORD EVER MADE, shouldn't you let us know, or something?)
Otherwise, recent faves from THE VOLEBEATS, THE LEN PRICE 3, ASTROPUPPEES and THE CONDORS rubbed thighbones with RAY PAUL, DAVID RUFFIN, THE FIVE AMERICANS, HANK WILLIAMS, THE RAMONES, BRIAN LINDSAY, THE ARCHIES, THE OTHER KIDS, CARROTS, THE CATHOLIC GIRLS, THE DAVE CLARK 5, STEVE BARTON, ANNY CELSI, THE BRISTOLS (covering The Pete Best Combo!), THE GO, LUGLESS BOOTH (from our own essential THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO compilation CD), STATUS QUO, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, OCTOBER ELSEWHERE, SCREEN TEST, THE LONG RYDERS, JOE JACKSON, COTTON MATHER and THE RUTLES. All this, and yet another Pick-Hit from www.littlehits.com, this week in the irresistible form of "Nothing's From Today" by THE VIPERS.
